Show your child how to make a long dough “snake” by using the flat of his/her hand to roll a lump of play dough back and forth on a flat surface. Guide your child to form shapes, letters, or numerals with the “snake.” Make balls and count them or put them into a line from largest to smallest. Cut the dough with scissors to strengthen fine motor skills. What animals can you make from the dough? Ask, “Where does this animal live?”

Rhymes & Finger Plays
“Rhymers will be readers.” “...if children know eight nursery rhymes by
heart by the time they are four years old, they’re usually among the best readers by the time they
are eight.” -Mem Fox
There Was an Old WomanThere was an old woman,who lived in a shoe.She had so many children,she didn’t know what to do.She gave them some broth,Without any bread,Kissed them all soundly,And sent them to bed.

Baa, Baa Black SheepBaa, baa, black sheep,Have you any wool?Yes sir, yes sir,Three bags full.One for my master,One for my dame,And one for the little boyWho lives down the lane.
One, Two, Buckle My ShoeOne, two, buckle my shoe;Three, four, shut the door;Five, six, pick up sticks;Seven, eight, lay them straight;Nine, ten, a big fat hen.
The Itsy-Bitsy SpiderThe itsy-bitsy spider,Climbed up the water spout.Down came the rain,And washed the spider out.Out came the sun,And dried up all the rain.And the itsy-bitsy spider,Climbed up the spout again.
Twinkle TwinkleTwinkle, twinkle, little star,How I wonder what you are?Up above the world so high,Like a diamond in the sky.Twinkle, twinkle, little star,How I wonder what you are!

”What do you think happened next?”
Rain, Rain, Go AwayRain, rain, go away,Come again another day;Little Johnny wants to play.
Jack Be NimbleJack be nimble,Jack be quick.Jack jump over the candlestick.
1. Read a book about starting school:
2. Be enthusiastic!
3. If one of your child’s friends will be starting school soon also, arrange for them to play together.
4. Before school starts, make sure to schedule any necessary appointments with your child’s teacher and tour the school.
5. Start a daily routine two weeks before school starts. Make sure your child has a regular bedtime (8:00-8:30 p.m.) and regular meal times.
6. Buy a book bag (without wheels) that is large enough for an 8 1/2” x 11” folder and several picture books. Talk about where you will hang it each day when he/she comes home from school. For safety reasons, put your child’s name inside of his/her book bag.
7. Give your child choices. Ask, “Which of these two outfits will you wear on the first day? Which cereal do you want to eat for breakfast?”
8. Let your child know that you will be leaving him/her at school and who will be picking him/her up. Be loving, but firm, when you leave and always say goodbye.
9. Be on time when you drop off or pick up your child. Nothing makes your child happier than to see you waiting for him/her.
10. Practice walking your child to the bus stop. Review bus safety rules: Quiet on the bus, stay in the seat, always bring a book bag, never talk to strangers and always look before crossing the street in front of the bus.
